In an open area at the top of Mount Lemmon (9,159'), large clumps of these large flowers were blooming here and there. This shot holds up nicely, if you enlarge it.

This Panorama was shot above Windy Point on Mt Lemmon just outside Tucson, Arizona in the winter of 2015.
An eroded tree trunk at Windy Point on the Catalina Highway on Mt. Lemmon at about 6000 feet. Windy Point is a large expanse of exposed rock.
This tree always makes me think of some giant bird or a dragon sitting there, wings folded, waiting for its next meal. The was shot at Windy Point, on the Catalina highway about halfway up Mount Lemmon in Tucson, AZ.
In Molino canyon on the slopes of Mt.Lemmon, we have the last of the water as the dry season comes on. These isolated pools will disappear until the summer monsoons come.
Two days of rain (Dec. 17 & 18) gave us a welcome inch of moisture in the desert. At 5pm on the 18th, the clouds had cleared enough that we saw to our delight that up on that 9,000' peak, snow had fallen. The setting sun lit up the hoar frost on the trees to create a memorable scene. Shot from our front porch (3,000'), about seven miles from Mt Lemmon.
On July 29 2015 I joined Ned and the gang on one of the summer Mount Lemmon hikes. We hiked the loop formed by the Mt. Lemmon Trail and the Meadow Trail (formerly the Power Line Road and the Lemmon Park Trail) at the top of the mountain.

At Windy Point on Mt Lemmon in Tucson Arizona this Hoodoo weathers time standing tall, a sentinel guarding the mountain.
Mount Lemmon, with a summit elevation of 9,159 feet (2,792 m, is the highest point in the Santa Catalina Mountains. It is located in the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson, Arizona, United States. Mount Lemmon was named for botanist Sara Plummer Lemmon, who trekked to the top of the mountain with her husband and E. O. Stratton, a local rancher, by horse and foot in 1881. Mount Lemmon is also known as Babad Do'ag, or Frog Mountain to the Tohono O'odham.
Taken from atop Mt. Lemmon in late June, which is over 9000 ft. I went for a more fine art/minimalistic approach to this one which was more labor intensive than I realized. I wanted to try and capture how HOT is was on the desert floor, and how COLD it was atop the mountain (the color fade). There was roughly a 40 degree difference, which was much welcomed!
